Yugi stared down at the pendant that lay in his hand. Why had it stopped glowing? Sukai couldn't be.....
But before he had time to think anymore, he heard the faint noise of dragon wings and a faint roar. Yugi turned around to see a light outline of a dragon land in the distance. Yugi hadn't noticed this before, but fog had settled throughout the park, making it harder to see.
"YUGI!" a female voice called.
"YUGI! WHERE ARE YOU?"
Yugi stayed silent. He didn't feel like getting involved with anyone at this moment. He just wanted to be left alone. All his determination and confidence he had had all but melted away.
"YUGI!" the shout was louder. No doubt that whoever was looking for him was getting closer.
"YUGI, WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE, IRIS CAN SENSE YOUR PRESENCE!" Yugi stopped. What was Kibou doing here?
Even so, Yugi stayed quiet. He just couldn't bring himself to open his mouth and shout. He just couldn't...
"THERE you are Yugi!" Yugi spun round to be confronted with Kibou and Iris.
"What do you want?" Yugi mumbled, turning around so he had his back to them both. Kibou looked at Iris.
"We've got a plan. We need you to come with us...."
Siberia flew down on Yuki and joined the circle of the heads of the dragon elements that surrounded the mage. Everyone remained silent as she joined. The mage turned his attention to her.
"Well?"
Siberia bowed her head in respect.
"I'm sorry mage, but I could not find her or Iris. Iris has blocked other spirit dragons from detecting her, so we just could not...."
The mange waved her off.
"The meeting shall continue" he announced. Once every year, there was a meeting between all the heads, hosted by the mage. It was a highly looked upon meeting, not to be missed by any of the heads.
"As you know, there has been a disagreement within the armies...."
"You could call it a disagreement....." Imorei stated, getting nods from the rest of the heads.
The mage tilted his head to one side slightly and sighed.
"Yes, well. Anyway, I have found that the Kodai Ryu and the Bara Ryu have joined our forces, so luck may be on our sides...." The mage continued.
"What if it's not?" Hikaru asked.
"What if it's all a lie?"
The mage glanced at Hikaru.
"Do you believe in fate?" Hikaru thought before nodding.
"Well, the Syoku Ryu has done nothing wrong. NOTHING! So fate should be on our side...." The mage shouted at the group, looking at the group of riders, trying to get their opinions.
The water dragon Knox roared in reply, before being comforted quickly by Roka.
"Mage, you can't control fate... you can't tell it what to do..." Roka added.
"I know, but we can hope. Hope and pray" The mage replied.
"Hoping isn't good enough. We need to take action!" Ookami shouted, getting fed up with not doing anything.
The Mage nodded.
"What does everyone think we should do to make sure this insanity does not get out of hand?" The mage often referred to the heads to see what their opinions where and how they would handle things. It was the only way to be assured that they would be able to run things when he was gone.....
"I say we have extra training time......" Sakura suggested, with her dragon Yumi nodding in agreement.
"Well, we can't really do that, there are not enough training rings for EVERYONE in the Syoku Ryu to train all at the same time..." Hyou replied, deep in thought.
"What about some people train above the city? Working on reflects and speed?" Tatsuya asked.
"We could.... But what if there was an accident in the city? It would cause more problems than solve them....." Rayne reasoned, trying to see a way around the problem.
"I have an idea! We could each train the dragons and riders within our department, within our element. We could train each dragon and rider individually, helping them with their weakness etc" Shion suggested.
"I think that'll have to be our temporary plan, until we can figure what we can do..." The mage said, looking in the distance.
"You'll be in the fight with us won't you?" Tatsuya said, suddenly worried. The mage peered at her.
"Yes. I will, don't worry... DRAGONS DISMISS!" he announced, indicating to everyone to leave. But before anyone could do anything, a shout rang out.
"WAIT! EVERYBODY STOP!"
Everybody turned to look at Siberia, who had her hands out to the sides, looking up at her dragon. Yuki's eyes had gone a bright blue colour and were glowing, and obviously communicating with Siberia.
Siberia turned around to face everybody else, but confronted the mage.
"We know where Kibou has gone. She's up in the medic area with Yugi... they're gonna try and.... bring Sukai back..." Siberia finished. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
"Wait... Sukai's DEAD? Why am I the last to know EVERYTHING?" Ookami said, breaking the silence.
The mage shot her a look.
"This is no time for jokes Ookami." Sakura stated.
"Iris could get really hurt if she does not know what she's doing...." Yahmata added.
Siberia jumped onto Yuki, who's eyes had stopped glowing and had returned to normal. With a single flap of her wings, Yuki took to the skies and flew toward the medic area, with the rest of the element heads in tow, including the mage.
"O.K, so let me get this straight... you're convinced that your dragon can go into this shadow- realm thing and bring back my dragons spirit and place it back into her body, all within a certain time limit? Yugi said, looking uncertainly at Kibou.
Kibou sighed.
"It's the spirit realm, not Shadow realm Yugi! Honestly! It'll be fine!" Kibou gave Yugi a reassuring smile.
They were both stood beside Sukai, in the medic area. They had managed to get in but only because people now refused to go to this part of the medic area, as Sukai's body lay here.
"How will Iris know whether it is Sukai?" Yugi asked.
Kibou glanced at Yugi.
"Every dragon has a different aura about them, because Sukai was good, it should be easy to spot..." Kibou said, looking at Iris and rubbing her head in comfort. Yugi swallowed and looked at Sukai's body.
"How many times have you done this?" Yugi asked Kibou, not looking away from Sukai.
Kibou stopped rubbing Iris's head for a moment and paused.
"This would be the first time!" Kibou said giving Yugi another reassuring smile. This didn't make Yugi feel better.
The next few moments were in silence. Yugi walked over to his dragon and placed a hand on her neck. She felt cold. Yugi snatched his hand away, feeling nothing.
"She's ready" came the soft voice of Kibou. Yugi walked back over to Kibou.
"Will she be ok?" Yugi asked.
"Well, we'll know. We're going with her!" Yugi's heart stopped. WHAT?
"Stay close Yugi, when we are transported, you have to stay close so you don't get lost within the spirit world." Kibou warned.
Before Yugi could say anything, the room began to spin, before disappearing completely. Soon, a white land was visible. Everything in this world was either white, or very light colours. It was peaceful, and Yugi could see light coloured dragons flew through the air, that seemed to be glowing different colours.
This place reminded Yugi of heaven, if there was one.....
"Come on Yugi, remember we don't have long before the opening to the spirit realm closes, trapping us forever.. Sorry, that was kind of dramatic...." Kibou said apologetically.
"No pressure then...." Yugi mumbled.
The trio looked around them for a few moments wondering where to start.
Kibou sensed Iris trying to contact her.
'I feel her aura. She wasn't ready to go, so she feels angry.... she may not understand what we are trying to do...'
"Don't worry Iris, we'll find her..." Kibou reassured her.
Kibou helped Yugi onto Iris's back and they flew off, looking around.
"Iris can sense Sukai's aura, we just need to find her!" Kibou didn't tell Yugi about the fact that Sukai might be angry, but she felt he had enough on his plate already.
Yugi wasn't thinking straight. He was now in the spirit realm... where the dead dragons of the past roam.
It seemed like an eternity before Iris finally landed, by a light blue lake, the water sparkling as it swirled. Yugi slowly walked to the edge and peered in the water.
And gasped at what he saw. It wasn't a reflection of him that he saw, but a reflection of Sukai...
Kibu laughed slightly as she too dismounted Iris and walked to the waters edge. Sure enough, her reflection in the water was of Iris, just like his was of Sukai. Kibou smiled.
"Sukai is part of you, Yugi, so this lake reveals part of you Yugi..."
"It's the part that i'm afraid to lose..." Yugi said sadly, walking away from the lake. Kibou put a hand on his shoulder.
"Look across the lake"
"What?"
"Just look across it"
Yugi did as he was told and yet again was surprised by what he saw. There across the lake....
....was Sukai.....
